Kelly-TookeHarley Quilted Chain Strap Hobo Shoulder Bag

OVER THREE DECADES AGO, THE KELLY FAMILY FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE BUSINESS OF LEATHER—BUT NOT HOW ONE MIGHT IMAGINE. AT THAT TIME, THEY JOINED A CENTURY’S OLD FAMILY BUSINESS, AND WITH YEARS OF DEDICATION TO THEIR TRADE, BECAME EXPERT SHOE RE-CRAFTERS. OVER TIME, THEY GREW INTIMATE WITH THE LEATHER GOODS THEY WOULD USE TO RE-CRAFT SHOES, AND FORGED STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR RANCHERS, TANNERIES, AND LEATHER ARTISANS.

EVENTUALLY, THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF LEATHERS—AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAND-SELECT AND PROCESS THE HIGHEST QUALITY HIDES—LED THEM TO UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY WHAT SPECIALIZED TANNING AND CRAFTSMANSHIP TECHNIQUES WOULD MAKE THE FINEST PRODUCTS. LIFELONG PASSION FOR LEATHER AND A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF EACH UNIQUE HIDE—THE GRAIN, MARKINGS, AND BRANDS—IS HOW THE KELLY-TOOKE LINE OF HANDMADE BAGS AND ACCESSORIES CAME TO LIFE.
